'Champions' on Prime is well worth watching. (It's alliteration day somewhere.) Woody Harrelson is mediocre but the supporting cast is excellent. It's real, as in real actors playing themselves, more or less. Caitlin Jensen is pretty much perfect, too. The script might be light but it's funny and the topic, the Special Olympics, hasn't been served like this EVER. Well done, everyone. (Remake of 'Campeones', by Javier Fesser.)

What's and worth a look...We found a new dark Irish + Canadian comedy "SisterS" for our 23-and-me times (it stars Barry's Sarah Goldberg, on AMC+).

And an offbeat Patricia Arquette comedy set in the that's earning high praise.

A few other buried in the scrolls:

Two new historical dramas drop tonight. The all-star semi-satirical look at Watergate's overlooked "masterminds" -- "White House Plumbers" - is sure to get traction.

But NatGeo's WWII drama "A Small Light" is earning better reviews. Quick takes + links to both: bit.ly/3kOgDlb

What else is getting buried in all those scrolls??

SNL is new (in 40 minutes) with Ana De Armas. But it might leave you wanting...as it tends to do lately.
If you haven't tried BEEF, well the depraved, twisted dark comedy is still percolating around the world. Our writer Churchill Guevarra explains why & wins the metaphor wars in the process: bit.ly/beef-explained

You don't have to be a fan of to get into this new season of Schmigadoon (arriving today on ). But...you might actually become one.

...Given that everyone is worried about their obsolescence, the final season of will surely hit home more than the others. But will the sale to Big Tech go through??
A quick catch-up guide that includes links to the real-life inspirations: bit.ly/SuccessionRec

Also: how to decide between that an edgier '24' corporate espionage thriller with Kiefer or the edgier with Olivia Colman? It's a lot of edge.

Stave off Sunday Scaries picks: Bob Odenkirk's new show (AMC) -- think The Office but set on a college campus, and he's in on the joke. See its up your alley: bit.ly/42sbv7Z

Sanditon (9pm) & Marie Antoinette (10pm) on PBS, if you're in need of saucy costume dramas. John Oliver (11pm) on HBOMax for timely news satire.

The fictional rock band in our new favorite escape watch just (in reality) topped iTunes charts!

Helps that Elvis's granddaughter, Jackson Browne, and a few other impressive names contributed.
Our writer explained how this "voyeuristic backstage pass to the drama & drugs of 70s rock bands" came to be: bit.ly/Daisy-Jones-Guide

Six episodes into with Christopher Waltz as the Elon-esque new boss at a gaming co...over the top but parts resonate.
Much needed new in a few. looks tempting over at Apple - a French espionage thriller-romance with a timely post-Brexit cyberterrorism theme.
We need a viewer who can weigh in (Check out watercoolerhq.co/)

The swearing in the film, by 1977 standards, was considered so foul, advertisements contained an additional warning underneath the R-rating: "Certain language may be too strong for children."

Released 1977
